I was just playing with a wind up toy car and couldnt believe how powerful and fast it was once i'd wound it up and released it. I then put a little pressure down on the car and still had loads of pull.
Some one please tell me why we cant make these cars on a larger scale for us to drive them?
Imagine having a nice aluminium car that works on a large powerful spring, where all we need is a braking system to control the speed.
Has this ever been done? = The Burdick Springwound Car (1895)!
I cant find any info on it, other than it flopped because the car over wound itself when going down a hill. Or ran out on long flat roads = surely modern day engineering can sort out these minor flaws?
Dont fret, its Good Friday and im bored lol.
